Rather than understand the original cause-a thought-we try to change the stressful feelings by looking outside ourselves.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

If you give your life as a prayer, you intensify the prayer beyond all measure.
